The wheels of my insanity filled mind have been turning for a while! I've been playing around with two different RP ideas, and was wondering what everyone thinks of them. I really want to try at least one of them out... xD

The first! The simple one. A regular, kinda free-for-all fantasy RP, set in a world run by magic. There are evil witches who plot to destroy and wreak havoc this pretty world. Basic story.
Good characters are playable, as well as the witches, and you can even be neutral if you want. Different races like elves, fairies and dwarves are playable (or you can make up your own), and you can make up your own abilities/weapons/magic spells/etc.
See, this one is more simple, but requires a lot of characters. D: I've done something like this before, and people liked it and it lasted a while. ^^

The second! Get this. A crossover of these two genres: magical girl and post-apocalypse. xDD Yes, I'm that crazy.

The story for this one is that basically, the world was abandoned by its gods, so the inhabitants turned to a lifestyle of scientific technology instead of the traditional magical one. Someone tries to create a certain kind of potion, but it fails, and the creator illegally dumps it into the sewer. The liquid mixes with sewage and gets into the water supply, and whoever drinks the water basically turns into a zombie-thing. There's a queen that controls all the zombie-things and makes massive zombie-thing monsters (which the RPer of the queen can make up themselves =D ) and raaaah raaah the world is in trouble.

The gods realize, "dammit, we were wrong to abandon them, they need help" and pick five people to serve as their soldiers of peace, called "Angelwings." The five Angelwings are each given a special item that they use to summon their magical girl forms, called "Sacredwishes." There's an Angelwing for each element: fire, water, air, earth, and ether. They fight the zombie-thing queen and her minions and stuff.

This one is a bit more complex, but calls for less RPers. Basically six (the five Angelwings and the zombie-thing queen), except if someone wants to play a massive zombie-thing monster/creature/construct.

Soooo... feedback? =D

I'd play in both to be completely honest. Flesh out the ideas a touch more and I think you could set up the threads and start recruiting. Make sure you set up a solid landscape for both, but otherwise I think you are headed in the right direction.

xD The first one actually is quite fleshed out (at least as far as a free-for-all story RP goes), with places and lore and the like. I even drew a map of the world (but its not scanned and stuff)!

The second one, yea, bit more work on that. ^^;

I think your best bet would be make one RP thread now if you are ready. Flesh out ideas (if you need to), make your post styles and so on. Like if you want to play the second idea think of more stuff, but if you want to make the first one just put up the thread.

Soooo! ^_^ You have another idea for later. Making one at a time will probably be easier to manage.

Also, it seems like every member that isn't already posting a lot won't be able to until after the holidays. Seems like everyone has finals then family stuff to attend to, so, don't get discouraged if you only get one or two people.

Also, figure out if you start playing now if it's easy for people to join mid-way through. smile

I know the RPs I have are very "new member" friendly. So, I can start with the people I have now, then when other people want to play they can just hop right in. ^_^

I love the magical girl idea! The free for all - I'm one of those people who really loves a good plot, although it would have quick and easy appeal for just basic role play, although, like Leid said, a bit more elaboration would be good.

@Leid: Yea, that's a good idea. I myself will be tied down until after next week (damn finals) soooo~ ^^

@Becki: Yays! ^^ Well, I shall think about that. Maybe I can come up with something a bit more detailed, so it'd be more interesting =]

Well, make sure you are ready to run your thread. You don't want to start it then make it crash and burn because you can't even look at it because of finals. Sometimes it won't be an issue but there are times that people lose their drive.

Let me know when you make one of them. ^_^

Like Becki has been doing this past week! But, she is on the home straight - only 800 more words to go, once she figures out what to write for them...

OMG, getting to the end is almost as bad as starting out. You never know what to say. Well, you are close! Hopefully everyone is doing well.

I think things will liven up are finals/the holidays.

So, you have time to worry about any kinks you may have. smile

Not really - it's due in for tomorrow!
But it is finally done, although it is ruddy awful!
We're going off topic a little here. xD

Yeah. Accidental thread hijack. >_< Sorry!

Back on topic:

Tails, I was wondering, how "magical girl" will it be? Like will there be a stark difference between the two genres or will they blend together?

I'm thinking they're going to kinda blend together; kinda like how Sailor Moon went: the villain sent out s**t for the scouts to fight, they wonder what the hell's going on, then they find out the diabolical plan, etc. etc. except it's ZOMBIES MUAHAHA.

That's how I hope it would go, anyway. ^^;
